My mother is deaf, she spent years of her childhood with a speech therapist so most people don't have difficulty understanding her, usually they think she has a French accent (weirdly after I explain she's deaf all of a sudden they can't understand her anymore :/) but there are still some words she just never quite got the hang of or just straight up prefers her pronunciation (she hates "Brock-lee", favoring the fancier "bra-call-e"). So there are a couple of words I picked up from her that I had to adjust my pronunciation of after I heard other people say it but I never stopped pronouncing anyway as "en-away".

This probably doesn't count as a mispronunciation, probably the opposite, but I pronounce mature how it is spelled instead of the "ma-chure" my Texas twang usually employs. The first time I heard it out loud was on Stargate (referring to a goa'uld symbiote) by a Canadian actor. However I do pronounce immature as "immachure"

The first time I heard 'Brigadier' was on Doctor Who and I literally went "ohhh" =/

Doesn't everybody say 'bra-call-e'?

...people not my mom say 'bra-call-e'? *mind blown*

I...don't know how else to say it. Unless she's really exaggerating it, like 'bra-CALL-e' or something....?

That is how she says it. How did you think I was saying she says it?

Like, "Bra-cuh-lee"?

No, but when i say it, the emphasis is on the first syllable, rather than the middle one. Same sound, different emphasis. :)

Naw. It's Brock Lee. emphasis first syllable. LOL

Weirdo.
:)

*takes a bow*

haha actually people who say "ma-toor" drive me nuts. xD Maybe it's a regional thing, because almost everyone I know says "ma-chure".

I feel like "brock-lee" and "brock-o-lee" sound almost the same because of how fast you say it, but it also annoys me when people leave the "a" out of caramel. not sure if I like what that says about me lol

I've never heard anyone say it "brock-o-lee".

Oh and did you know sherbert is just a really common mispronunciation? It's supposed to be sherbet.

haha, I always thought "sherbet" was the British pronunciation :P

Matoor drives me up the wall too. my brother says that. And he says youman instead of human. No distinctive h. yeck yeck yeck

Oh man, I've only ever heard one person do that and it was an anthropology professor. It bugs me too!!!

I have always heard broccoli pronounced with three syllables. It would not have occurred to me to pronounce it otherwise.

Huh. According to youtube if my mother said it "bra-cO-lee" instead of 'bra-cALL-e she'd be right. Which is closer than how everyone I know says it.
